THE BROWNIES IN NOVEMBER.

And thus perform our part assigned
Without awaking thoughts unkind.”
*T is little use to tell a wife

To guard the pantry as her life;

Or tell the maid whose wits are slow
She must be watchful, or must go;
Because the Brownies have a way

To carry on their work or play,

And what they want they soon receive
Without so much as “by your leave.”
But where they visit, there they bless:
The household treasures grow no less,
And happy is the home whose floor
The Brownie band has scampered o’er.
All harmful things will ever flee

From little ones who bend the knee
Beside the bed where Brownies creep, '

Or play their pranks while people sleep.

When one is thinking least about
The band, they ’re passing in and out,
Or scanning with a watchful eye
